[145] Monastier, p. 389. The Pope, Innocent XII., declared (19th August, 1694) the edict of the duke re-establishing the Vaudois null and void, and enjoined his inquisitors to pay no attention to it in their pursuit of the heretics.

[148] So deep was the previous ignorance respecting this people, that Sharon Turner, speaking of the Waldenses in his _History of England_, placed them on the shores of Lake Leman, confounding the Valleys of the Vaudois with the Canton de Vaud. [149] The Author may be permitted to bear his personal testimony to the labours of General Beckwith for the Waldenses, and through them for the evangelisation of Italy. On occasion of his first visit to the Valleys in 1851, he passed a week mostly in the society of the general, and had details from his own lips of the methods he was pursuing for the elevation of the Church of the Vaudois. All through the Valleys he was revered as a father. His common appellation among them was “The Benefactor of the Vaudois.” [150] _General Beckwith: his Life and Labours_, &c. By J. P.
